For the birds (or the squirrels)

So, we thought that we'd be kind to the birds and make sure that they had something good to eat this winter. Grammy and Poppy had given the girls bird feeders a while back. So, they painted them and stuck them to the glass door in the kitchen. We thought that the birds could use one to eat from and one to nest in. However, the squirrels have had other ideas!

It seems that the squirrels really like bird food and will do just about anything to get some, including climbing our screen. Apparently, the blood doesn't rush to a squirrel's head as it does to our heads, because he stayed in this position for quite some time! The feeders are just out of view to the left. I guess that squirrels think best upside-down!


He's finally put together his plan and is heading for the feeder. I can't believe that bird feed is worth all of this. Maybe I should try it! It's probably pretty low in calories and fat!




Persistence finally pays off and this squirrel reaches the destination. Check out the video below to see the squirrel's Thanksgiving Feast!




We hope that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as we and our squirrel did!

We ran the video through our squirrel translator, and this is what we heard:
